BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Arrived

And what a mess it is! Color is fine but OMG I put it on my face, skin care done hours ago, no primer - and what a mess. It was awful. Pilled all over, patchy, showed every pore, it was horrendous. Immediately took it off.

Will try it one more time tomorrow with either my fingers or a sponge but if I get the same result, it's going back. What a mess and a disappointment.

I've been using this for years and have never had it pill or anything else. I wonder if yours had frozen at some point and that changed the texture. Hope it works better tomorrow

So sorry to hear, I avoid it since its sunscreen is only titanium dioxide and I prefer zinc oxide or a combo of the 2. I have very good luck with Andalou Color and Correct CC Cream with SPF 30 in the rose scent

@JudyL Hope it works better for you tomorrow.

I found a perfect match in Ulta with this, but not enough coverage for me, so I never purchased..

@JudyL - I'm so sorry! I wonder if the formula has changed. I use this as my light everyday foundation, when I'm not wearing my regular one. I didn't get the TSV because I have my backup in Vanilla ready to use soon. I wear Birch during fall and winter.

I usually use a brush, but sometimes use my fingers. I've never used a sponge before with this.

I'm anxious to hear if you have better luck!

ETA: I just thought of something else. You can either try it in store or buy a small travel size. Then you'll know if it's a problem with that particular tube.

Thank you all for suggestions. I was so surprised that it was so bad. I live in CA and it hasn't been hot here nor has it been cold so don't think thats an issue - of course, don't know where it was shipped from. I'm used to using IT CC Glow and that I apply with fingers or a sponge and it's fine. Will see what happens tomorrow.

@JudyL I was so sorry to read that it didn't work for you. Hopefully, the sponge will work. I have never had it pill and I change up my skincare and primer all the time, I do use a sponge. So sorry it didn't work for you!

Did you make sure you shook it well? Anything with sunsceeen needs to be shook. I had this in past and liked it but their shadea are so weird and I could never find a good match. The one I had worked but it was just a little to light

So sorry, @JudyL. What a bummer. I posted in the TSV thread about my experience, which was similar to yours - patchiness and exaggerated pores. After reading all the glowing testimonials, I second guessed myself and wondered if my recall failed and I was thinking of something else, so I deleted my comment. I even almost ordered it, but didn't.
